I'm a bit overwhelmed by all there is to learn, but I am determined to 'fake it 'til I make it' with writing fiction, so I'm jumping in! I have a lot of writing experience professionally, but mostly in policy, grants, and academia. So really leaning towards the grim reality than the bright fantasy.

Hi, there. I'm kind of in a similar position: I do a lot of writing for grad school, but I'd love to write fiction that people will enjoy reading. I'm kind of faking it till I make it, too. Hopefully, "making it" will include publication. Wouldn't that be nice? :) Welcome to the "treehouse"!

Actually, we all seem to be in that position- a couple more than others so be welcome.

We are a nice friendly group.

However do be careful as you wonder around there's this loose unicorn who somehow wondered in and became lost--or she just likes it here--and she can be mean.

Hmm. That hadn't occurred to me, but I suppose it could be. I just consider it part of Louis's welcome format, and haven't worried that much about why he does it.

My first unicorn read was Bruce Coville's Into the Land of the Unicorns. That book was well-loved. It had both male and female unicorns. I guess Mr. Coville is an equal-opportunity unicorn employer. :)
